Abstract WP199: Outcomes Following Posterior Cerebral Artery Thrombolysis vs Medical Management in those with Atrial Fibrillation

Stroke Journal

FEBRUARY 1, 2024

Background:The benefits of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for posterior cerebral artery (PCA) occlusion remain controversial, but intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) has proven benefit across nearly all ischemic stroke types.

Background:Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) as treatment for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) has demonstrated superior functional outcomes compared to intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP115-ATP115, February 1, 2025. Matched propensity scores were used to adjust for baseline differences across 36 factors.

Abstract WMP42: Trends of In-Hospital Strokes Over Time: Results From the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky Stroke Study

Stroke Journal

FEBRUARY 1, 2024

Background:Prior studies have shown that individuals who have an in-hospital stroke are less likely to receive thrombolysis. We used national death index data to determine death at 30 days post-discharge.Results:Among 13134 strokes from 1993-2015, 1152 (9%) occurred in the hospital. in1993/94 (p=0.003).

Subjects were divided into "intravenous thrombolysis group" and "non-intravenous thrombolysis group". Result:A total of 1971 patients (437 thrombolysis) were included. In the external validation set, the AUC-ROC values of "PAIST Scale" were 0.855 in the non-thrombolysis group and 0.778 in the thrombolysis group.

Method:We searched Pubmed, Cochrane, and Embase from 2015 to August 2024, which compared EVT in OAC and Non-OAC patients with acute ischemic stroke. In such a population, the safety and efficacy of EVT remain uncertain, with emphasis on the risk of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH).Method:We Safety outcomes included ICH and 90 days mortality.
